This is a reconstruction of Henri Poincare's anti-realist
philosophy of mathematics. Although Poincare is recognized as the
greatest mathematician of the late 19th century, his contribution
to the philosophy of mathematics is not generally highly regarded.
Poincare criticized logicism and axiomatic set theory, and he
argued that we have mathematical intuitions. Many regard his
remarks as idiosyncratic, and based upon a misunderstanding of
logic and logicism. This book argues that Poincare's critiques are
not based on misunderstanding. Rather, they are grounded in a
coherent and attractive foundation of neo-Kantian constructivity.
